"A perfectly balanced char
acter is seldom found. Each |
virtue seems to have its Offset
ting foible. Amiability is apt
to be allied with weakness; a
vigorous, pushing character is
often impulsive, harsh and un-
Just. A reflective mind is slow
to act; prompt mindis often
wrong. So through all the ele-
mentary characters. All the
qualities that go to make up a
perfect moral nature rarely APP
pear in one person. The physi-
cal and intellectual do not al
ways evenly balance. There
are those rossessed of stronger
moral than mental nature. They
constitute the spasmodic, I'M
pulsive element in society.
There are others whoqe intel-
lects so absolutely control their
moral nature that nothing is ad-
m tied that cannot be rea soned
out satisfactorily. There are
persons whose strong animal
natures dominates all else; both
mind aud spirit are subservient.
To regulate all these parts so as
; to attain a fair degree of quality
is the right step toward securing
what may be called balance in
character.
1t is a mistaken idea that,
if a little of anything is good, a
great deal must be correspond
ingly better. 1t may be SO, but
not unless its due relation to
other things is equally preserved.
Few things are stronger than
steam when used and confined
within working limits, and but
few weaker than the same steam

remove them at once.
In view of the fact that the state

decided that all lots in the village

Finds Enourh.

A more active and effective beg
ging committee never worked any
community than that which started
out last Tuesday 10 raise money
for the Grand Army encampment.
The representatives of the Grand
Army were Messer. Sprsgue, Parker
and Bruce, with Gov. Barto as er
o65eio member of the committee, and
Messrs. Capser, Petit and Coe from
the Board of Trade. They made a
careful estimate of the amount to be
raised, and parcelled it out among
our business men. They started in a
body and made tour of the village,
and with rare exception they got all
they asked and in many instances even
more. When they had completed
their labors they had exceeded their
estimate very largely, and the donors
told them to call again if more were
needed. The only question they have
to consider now is what limit shall be
placed upon expenditures. The money
will be forthcoming. Our citizens
responded literally and cheerfully;
they are thoroughly alive to the i'm
portance of the occasion, and are bound
to make our visitors feel that they are
cordially welcome. 1t is a source of
pride to all OF US that we have such a
generous business community.

The Concert,

The concert given by the brass
band and orchestra at the opera
house en- Monday evening was every
way creditable, and deserved much
better patronage, though there was
a fair audience present. Sank Cen.
tire has a band of which she may we'll
be proud, and with a little more
practice will compare favorably with
any non-professional organization of
its kind in the northwest.
at the concert there were seven.
teen pieces, and the music was ex-
cellent. The program embraced Sc
lections from the very best compos-
eIs, and every number was well rem
aered, the Russian Carriage Song
receiving a hearty encore. The
Grand Fantasia selections from the
Bohemian. Girl, the music of which
was we'll received, and serves to
emphasize the fact that it would be
a good idea to introduce at least one
number in every program of we'll
known airs. 1t serves to rest the
and adds grateful variety
to the entertainment. Fhe orchestra
acquitted itself admirably. The en-
tire concert was most enjoyable in
every feature.
In this connection the HERALD
suggests that it be repeated at no
distant day, with such variations as
may suggest. 1t would seem that
the band could give concerts profit
ably every month or two, and make
them feature which our citizens
would appreciate and encourage.

Teachers Institute.

On Monday last, as suiced, a
teachers institute for thu county OF
Stearns, commenced its session in
this village, and excellent work Is
being done in the matter of instruct
ing the teachers in the de tails of
their duties. These Institutes: are of
inestimable value to teachers, n that
they raise the standard of tb dis
trict schools throughout the county,
putting them into harmony one with
another. The school system is not
merely a certain number of indie
pendent places OF instruction, but
are parts of whole, which sh ould
be made to conform to the central
idea of the system. The Institute is
largely attended, and is under com.
petent corps of instructors.

the vein was discovered has been

valuable vein of coal he doesn't care
for any assistance, and he is appar.
